paperp 1t is but few short weeks
since he breathed hot breath against
Gibson and the King because of
their neglect of his personal merits
and claims, and if he is now con-
ducting the "Elele" it is to express
precisely what he is told to put into
print to influence the natives Testa
is no more free agent than if he were
a convict, and his masters are re-
sponsible for the atrocous advice Of
the "Elele' to sweep the foreigners
out of the country, that is to mas
sacre them and confscate their pro-
perty. This is what the "Elele adj
vised the Hawaiian people to do, al
though it was not expressed in these
exact words. Inasmuch as the
authorities are arising and prepar-
ing to shoot down all who oppose
their lawless acts, there is great sig
nifcance in the "Elele's" Indictment
to massacre. If the native Ha-
waiians could be induced to attack
their white friends and neighbors,
an excuse would be found for using
the machine guns and Austrian bat
terry upon the doomed whites, to
make clean sweep of opposition
and suppressed treason. And it is
significant that on the very evening
of the day on which this murderous
advice appeared in the "Elele," an
attempt was made by a section of
the police, doubtless under instruc-
ton, to provoke riot by shadowing
the British jubilee banquetters at
dinner, aud subsequently forcing n
fight upon small section of them
when quietly leaving gentleman S
private residence on Richard street,
close to the Palace wall. Had a
riot ensued it would have been con-
strued into an attack upon the Pa
lace in all probability, with con-
sequences too fearful to contem-
plate. This plan miscarried, thanks
TO the forbearance of the young
gentlemen, but its inception can be
brought so close to some of the Min
istry and the "Elele" ring, as to
leave no room to doubt their respon-
sibility. A HAoLE.

PUBLIC TRUST FUNDS IN THE HANDS
OF GOVERNMENT.

EDITOR BULLETIN :-Besides the
certificate money and the Postoilice
Savings Bank Deposits there is still
another especial Deposit" in the
hands of Government which the
writer of the communication under
the above title in your Saturdays
issue appears to have overlooked.
This is the Japanese Fund, amount
ing at 81 March, 1856, to no less than
S2S,092.05. The huditor-General in
his report does not profess to have
very definite or clear ideas about this
fund. He says, "this fund seems to
be drived from percentage of Jap
anese contract laborers' pay, paid
over to the Government by special
agreement, and placed on the Treas
ury Books in the shape of n banking
account, in which / have no author
ity over until such time as it becomes
merged in the general receipts of the
Treasury, and being closed in with
the period, cannot be drawn without
legislative authority" Why the
Auditor General should merely" seem"
to know the source of this fund and
not ascertain definitely for himself
for what purpose the money is lodg-
ed with Government, is beyond my
ken, and in the statement about
having no authority over the money
until it becomes merged in the gem
eral receipts of the Treasury, beg
to differ from him entirely. / hold
that the moment any money is
placed in the hands of the Treasury
Department and entered in the Gov
ernment Books, it becomes the
Auditor-General's duty to watch
over and verify the proper expendi-
ture of same. How also does the
mysterious operation of being "merg-
ed IN the general receipts of the
Treasury" take placer By simple
transfer entry in the Treasury Books
as / should imagine, or does it re-
quire the occult help of the Kahu-
mas or versatile Registrar of Convey
ances to effect the change.
Seriously speaking, it is to be
hoped that the japanese Consul is
keeping his weather eye open upon
these savings oi his poor country
men, and that he will insist, in the
circumstances now prevailing in OBJ
tanning some tangible security for re-
payment of money lodged. If the
Japanese Government in making
this deposit are under the impress
sion that the money would be readily
forthcoming mt any time when called
for, they are very much mistaken,
The leading financial magnate OF
this country whose opinion is to be
depended upon, stated in speech in
the last Legislature that he had al
ways voted against the reckless eX-
travagance OF the Hawaiian Govern
ment, but it was of no use, however,
as the Government was made up of
Office holders who had one hand in
the Treasury and the other on the
taxes.
The condition of the Japanese
men and women in this country may
turn out very deplorable one, when
they find themselves minus their
wages, and debauched with opium in

EXCITEMENT.

The town has been all excitement
during the day over a rumor that
started early in the morning, to the
effect that the Ministry had, at the
Kings request, resigned. 1t is very
difficult to get any reliable informa-
ton. 1t is pretty safe, however, to
say that the rumor is founded on
fact. OF course, the Ministers will
hold office until their successors are
appointed. The appointment of a
new cabinet is probably found to be
difficult matter. At all events, lat
this hours o'clock p. M.--we can
not learn that anything difnite has
been accomplished in this direction.
The sentiment of this commmun-
ity, il we understand it Alright, and
we think we do, is not of that nature
which can be satisfied simply by the
dismissal of one set of men and the
appointment of another set. Past
experience of this kind of thing has
not had tendency to inspire con-
fidence in the permanent benefit of
any such arrangement. The King
has, in the past, appointed and dis
missed cabinet after cabinet at
pleasure, and may do so again. 1t
cannot be forgotten that His Majesty
has usually been guided by his own
will and whim, and not the wish of
the tax payers and the good of the
country. Any ministry that may
have been acceptable to the country
and endeavored to expend the public
revenue for internal development
and Improvement, has had short
life. While, on the other hand,
ministers destitute of principle and
patriotism, and ready to misuse the
public funds held in trust by them,
for the furtherance of the Kings
crack Drained notions and schemes,
have been tenaciously held on to.
We are not in the humor to accept
any compromise that will allow an
opening for reproduction in the
future of what We have had too
much of in the past. A real, complete,
thorough change, which will exclude
from every official position all dis
honest and incompetent persons and
put in their places men of honor,
rectitude and fitness, is what the in
telligence and respectability of the
country want. Nothing short of this
will satisfy. Moreover, there must
be a positive and undeniable guaran-
tee of its continuance. The King
must be prepared to take his own
proper place, and be content to
reign without ruling. We want
capable responsible Ministers, not
irresponsible clerks. Having ap-
pointed these Ministers, the King
should keep his hands off, and let
the work of government to them.
This is one important point, which
the community should be prepared
to insist upon, and we believe it is.
Gentlemen, don't let yourselves be
hoodwinked again by little dexter
Gus shufling. You know your
rights. Demand them TO the full,
and be content with no half measures,

Animals that Change Color.

There is tiny crustacean, the chame-
leon shrimp, which can alter its hue to
that of any material on which it happens
to rest. On sandy bottom it appears
gray or sand-colored; when lurking
among seaweed it becomes green, or red
or brown, according to the nature of its
momentary background. Probably the
effect is quite unconscious, or at least in
voluntary, like blushing with ourselves
and nobody ever blushed on purpose,
though they do say distinguished poet
once complained that an eminent actor
did not follow his stage directions because
he omitted to obey the rubrical remark,
'Here Harold purples with anger" The
change is produced by certain automatic
muscles which force up particular pig
ment cells above the Others, green COM
ing to the top on green surface, red on
ruddy one, and brown or gray where
the circumstances demand them. Many
kinds of fish similarly alter color to suit
their background by forcing forward or
backward certain special pigment-cells
known as chromatophores, whose various
combinations produce at will almost any
required tone or shade. Almost all rep
tiles and amphibians possess the power of
changing their hue in accordance with
their environment in very high degree;
and among certain tree toads and frogs
it is difficult to say what is the normal
coloring, as they vary indefinitely from
buff and dove-color to chocolate-brown,
rose, and even lilac. C0rnhiU.

Fontaine at last drew a check for the
amount of his indebtedness, and the
Frenchman disappeared.
Time passed. No trace was found of
Barton nor his lovely wife. One day, IN
New York, Reginald visited the Rogues'
Gallery at Police Headquarters. Es saw
many faces there not in the collection OF
his home officials among these, F. F.
Barton, and the French salesman who
had commissioned the locketl
Although the police could not explain
this coincidence and secuted his conclu-
sions, Fontaine always believed himself
the victim of double conspiracy; that
the knaves travelled the globe with ample
capital, one placing jewels stolen abroad
in the hands of responsible dealers IN
small American towns, the other follow
ing to recapture the prizes, and the
original conspirator returning to demand
payment for the loss.
But while he never placed hand OF
eyes again upon the French salesman, ne
had the satisfaction of adding his testi-
mony to the catalogue of evidence
against Mr.. Barton at later day, and Of
seeing him consigned to prison. The

A Characteristic of the T'linkits.

The T'linkits, writes Lieut.. Schwatka,
in the Independent, never understand the
meaning of joke, and if it is of practi-
cal nature they are sure to get quite angry
and if it is not, it falls as fat on their ma
ture as the reading of last years almanac.
They will sometimes "guy" each other a
little, at a personal mishap, as slipping
down in the mud, falling in the water, or
something similar thereto, but beyond
this they never 60, or seem to understand.
ANY adventure that has funny character
to it, and that we would dub "a good
Joke, " rolls off of their intellect like water
off a ducks back.
A white man, living in Sitka, did a
great deal of hunting to while away the
time; and to increase his score among the
ducks which he sought, the most abun-
dant of all game thereabouts, he sent East
and bought number of duck decoys.
These were placed in the water where he
knew those water fowl were generally
plentiful, and they were left until they
had succeeded in decoying some of the
birds about them. They came under the
observation of a young T'linkit hunter,
who ran to his house and got an old
worn out shotgun, and then he COM
menced the not very difficult task
of crawling upon the decoys, needlessly
keeping out of sight behind the logs and
brush of the beach until, at the waters
edge, he was about forty yards away, and
safely hidden behind big drift-stump.
He then preceded to let the dozen de-
coys have ringing discharge from both
barrels that nearly tore his shoulder of,
and set his ears to ringing like buzz-saws,
but that, of course, had no effect on the
wooden ducks, much to the young mans
astonishment.
He wasted q great deal of ammunition
before the truth dawned on his mind.
Now an American boy, under similar cir
cumstances, would have crept back to the
brush, hiding closer to the ground than
before, and after getting we'll out of
sight, would have taken particular pains
to have forgotten all about it as soon as
possible. Our Sitka youth, on the con-
trary, was in rage, and he lost no great
amount of time in hunting up the owner
of the decoys, and despite the latter's i'm
moderate lighter, which only angered
him the more, he insisted on being paid
for the ammunition he had expended on
the wooden ducks, and was so persistent
in his demands, that the owner paid it to
get rid of him; and which thoroughly set
tied the case, for the Indian had no shame
or modesty as to the part he had acted In
the adventure.

Bread In Sweden.

At Falun, writes Globe Democrat cor
respondent, we found the average Swe-
dish inn, with cherries dining room,
where each table was piled high with
knackbrod, enough on each table to feed
twenty soldiers. The knackbrod is ma
tional institution and sign surer than
any sign post or frontier stone to tell one
that he is in Sweden. 1t is made of rye
or barley -four, mixed with potatoes and
quantities of caraway seeds; is baked in
thin sheets foot in diameter, with hole
in the middle, and through this hole the
market women run a string and carry it
around for sale. In the bread market at
Stockholm they fasten these strings of
knackbrod to their shoulder yokcs in piles
that reach from the yokes nearly to the
ground. To an unapprcciative palate 1t
tastes quite as much rs it looks like dog
biscuit and is tougher than anything else
the human teeth struggle with. Besides
the knackbrod, the Swedes offer you
many varieties of sweet bread full of car
away seeds, and with the morning coffee
give you plates of these fancy kickshaws,
but never any plain white bread, and the
coffee at Falun was something to make
one shiver with disgust.

Be Careful Of Your Signature.

A gentleman of wealth, while practic'
ing penmanship one day, wrote his name
upon a blank slip of paper and allowed it
to lie on his desk. 1t attracted the at.
tcntion of a ncighbor, who, for a joke,
filled the space above the signature in the
form of promissory note, and a few days
afterward the joking neighbor presented
the paper, with an offer to allow consid-
erablc discount if the apparant drawe,
would cash it at the time. The gentle
man perceived the joke, and the holder of
the document, placing it in bis pocket,
departed, and nothing more was said
about it. Subsequently the holder was
stricken with paralysis and died, and his
executors, finding the note, and having
no knowledge of the joke attached to it,
brought suit and received the sum for
which it was Youth's ComDanaon
